Definition

Etymology
The term "el trabajador" comes from the Spanish verb 'trabajar,' meaning 'to work.' It evolved to refer specifically to a person who works, particularly in manual or industrial capacities. Did you know that 'trabajar' itself has roots in the Latin word 'tripaliare,' which meant 'to torment,' originally referring to a torture device? Thankfully, modern workers usually find work less painful than the word's origins suggest.
